Chris Ward's stint on the World Tour was, in a word…disheveled. In 2006 the unpredictably brilliant Wardo showed up to Pipeline Masters needing a semifinal appearance or better to keep his spot on tour. He also needed surfboards. Wardo arrived for the event without boards of his own on the island. But in typical "Ward Stories" fashion, Chris unearthed some Mayhems and went on a tear in the Masters, making the semis and putting on one of the most organic tube riding showcases of all-time.
